   8         * tests/LIST:
   9         * tests/access-binary-trees.js: Added.
  10         * tests/access-nsieve.js: Added.

  19
  20         * TODO: Updated to note areas that are now well-covered.
  21
  22         - Change the tests and the driver to avoid leaving large object
  23         graphs hanging around, since that throws off the subsequent tests.

  37         - Rebalance test complexity.
  38
  39         Scaled all the tests so they take 400-600ms on a reasonably normal user setup:
  40
  41         Internet Explorer 7, Window XP, Dell Latitude D810 with a 2.13GHz Pentium M
  42
  43         However, for some tests, IE7 was a huge outlier compared to other
  44         major browsers. For those tests, I used Firefox 2.0.0.8 on the
  45         same OS and hardware as a normalization basis.
  46
  47         * tests/3d-morph.js:

 121         - New JavaScript benchmark
 122         http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15515
 123
 124         A start on a new JavaScript benchmark, with standalone and
 125         browser-hosted drivers.
 126
 127         The test content is still incomplete and the drivers could use
 128         some more features but there is enough here to make a good start.
 129
 130         The drivers compute a 95% confidence interval on the mean for the
 131         whole test, each category, and each individual test to make it
 132         easier to tell whether differences are statistically
 133         significant. The confidence interval can be narrowed by running
 134         the test more times.
 135
 136         * TODO: Added. Remaining things that need to be done.
 137         * sunspider: Added. Perl script that acts as the standalone test driver.

 139         of standalone test driver.
 140         * resources/sunspider-analyze-results.js: Added. JavaScript statistical
 141         analysis code.
 142         * resources/TEMPLATE.html: Added. Template for browser-hosted tests.
 143         * make-hosted: Added. Script to generate browser-hosted tests.
 144         * hosted/sunspider.html: Added. Start page for browser-hosted test.
 145         * hosted/sunspider-driver.html: Added. Driver for browser-hosted tests.
 146         * hosted/sunspider-results.html: Added. Results page for browser-hosted
 147         tests.
 148         * hosted/sunspider-record-result.js: Added. Helper file for browser-hosted
 149         tests.
 150         * tests/LIST: Added. List of tests to use.
 151         * tests/bitops-3bit-bits-in-byte.js: Added. Some initial test content.
